Last Week’s Jams (1.27 – 1.31)

Well, the year’s fully in swing, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of music we got to listen to, though we only managed to write about a mere 25+ tracks and albums. I’ll cop to the fact that the end of the week was the highlight, hitting with a new Lone Striker single on the same day we got The Laughing Chimes album out there. Buffet Lunch continued to flex their musicianship, while the Rishis offered a brand single from their next LP. New Tunde Adebimpe and La Securite had us on the trends, but in the end, I was just glad to hear new stuff from our friends in Seasonal Falls. What will be your favorite jam of last week?

Leatherette Prep New EP

If we’re being honest, we don’t get too much from the Italian music scene, and I’m not quite sure why, but when I got this Leatherette jam, I was all over it. It’s that sort of skronking post-punk that’s been all the age, but they’re doing it in a slightly different fashion. For starters, the tracks is wrapped up in a dreamy guitar, immediately softening the edge (which pays off in the chorus). Also, they seem to hint at some nostalgic moves, not only with the horn blasts, but also with some of the underlying grooves of the rhythm section. Personally, I love that there’s some emphatic vocal bursts, but because of the guitar, they still cling to melody, so not ac cliche and abrasive. New EP will hit on February 14th.
